Man charged after videos seized from Winnipeg pool change room

A 37-year-old Winnipeg man has been charged with multiple offences after videos filmed in a public pool change room were seized by police.

According to police, investigators were alerted to child sex abuse imagery on a mobile device and obtained an arrest warrant for the suspect.

They said a further search of the devices found video recordings made in April 2023 and May 2024 of children and adults “in various stages of undress” in the family change room of a public pool in the Maples neighbourhood.

An arrest was made on Oct. 2. Police said during the investigation, they learned the suspect allegedly inappropriately engaged with a student while teaching at a high school in Winnipeg’s North End.

Matthew James Mousseau was arrested and charged with possession of child pornography, accessing child pornography, voyeurism, sexual assault and sexual exploitation. He was released on a release order.

The charges have not been proven in court.

Police said Mousseau was employed as a teacher at several Winnipeg schools until May 2024, but is no longer working as a teacher.

Police are reminding people to be aware of their surroundings, especially when using a change room or washroom in public. Suspicious items or activity should be reported.

The investigation continues.
